How do you know you’re getting the same amount of nitrogen on every row, even when navigating turns? In most cases, you either don’t know or aren’t delivering the same amount of anhydrous to each row — or both. Capstan Ag has developed its PinPoint II system to the point where it can do both things. Equal row-to-row delivery even on turns is the big plus, spokespersons say. Visit capstanag.com or call 855-628-7722.

It’s 3 feet narrower than any other 60-foot liquid fertilizer applicators — that was the goal of Fast Ag Solutions with its A-Series Applicator. Now at a width of just 11 feet, 10 inches, the design increases safety, eases operator stress and helps decrease operator liability while on the road. It comes with a 1,800- or 2,600-gallon tank design with a larger sump; enhanced weight distribution on the trailer; and a lower, narrower profile to significantly increase operator visibility from the cab. The A-Series will also be able to accommodate any row or coulter spacing from 10 inches to 40 inches, making this applicator fit for both row crop and small grains. For more on the A-Series Applicator, visit Fast Ag Solutions, Gilman, Ill., at fastagsolutions.com, or call 800-872-8894.
